Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody that should be safely managed through detox services when intensely dependent to drugs and/or alcohol, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health solutions as part of their rehab procedure. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have a problem with substance abuse may have unique obstacles they must overcome whilst in rehabilitation, which treatment professionals in the center they opt to take part in have to be keen of so that a complete recovery may be possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to select a program which is used to helping seniors and older adults handle the distinctive life and drug use issues that these clients face which may include a wider spectrum of solutions including medical treatment and the like.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehab is needed. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center that is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.
